"That would be fine if that was where the trucks were coming from. I guess they should have asked you where to stage the supplies, then they could have avoided all the traffic."
Sorry - I ain't biting - if a 20 year old that never drove a bus can take one full of victims and be the first one to the Superdome, something is F'ed up.
The govt screwed up on this one
Someone posted earlier that the kid who commandeered the bus should be Mayor of NO.

FEMA should hire that young man.
Alright, obviously I have to type slower so you'll be able to grasp this concept. Before the hurricane, supplies were prestationed at various spots around the country in ways to get to the cities involved once the hurricane passed. They didn't know in advance what was going to happen to the road conditions. Why don't you pull up a map and see just how you get from Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee and South Carolina (places that would survive the hurricane path) and make all those people and all those supplies come through the one entrace where the bridges weren't out. OK? Let's see now, the bridge across I-10 is down, completely and irretrevably, the causeway across Lake Poncetrain is completely out. There is one highway into town. Map that out for me and tell me how long it'll take you to get through. Oh yeah, and BTW, be sure to work into your equation the fact that there is no communication so you don't really know which one way is open to you. Get back to me after you've done that.
